Cue, a fast-growing provider of customer service chat software with a strong presence in the UK, has closed its seed funding round of £1.6 million from angel investors.

The funding will be used to deliver deeper integration of artificial intelligence into Cue’s customer service platform and fuel the company’s growth and expansion.
